The Substitute

Hmmm... the episode description for tonight is quite brief... and vague (note - I don't watch the previews):

Locke goes in search of help to further his cause.

So it appears we might be getting a Locke-centric episode, which would be kinda weird because in present time we'd have the Nemesis and in the alt timeline we'd have the pathetic, pencil pusher Locke. But what does the title refer to? Could it be we'll finally find out what Frank is a candidate for? Does it refer to the sickness - perhaps Smokey replaces their souls with something... else? Could it refer to the fact that Jack used Locke's body as a substitute for his father's on Flight 316? Could that be the loophole that the Nemesis exploited?
